CHAPTER FIVE

5. Shapes

This chapter contains: Selecting a shape; changing the size and speed

of a shape; spreading a shape across multiple fixtures; editing shapes

which are running.

The Pearl, in common with other Avolites consoles, has a shape

generator. This allows you to quickly create exciting light shows using

lots of movement and changes, with the minimum of programming.

A shape is simply a sequence of values which can be applied to any

attribute of a fixture. A “circle” shape, for example, applied to the pan

and tilt attributes, would cause the fixture to move its beam around in

a circular pattern. You can set the centre point of the circle, the size of

the circle and the speed of the circle movement.

In addition to beam position shapes, there are a large number of other

shapes available in the Pearl. The shapes are defined for a particular

attribute such as colour, dimmer, focus and so on. Some shapes will

not work with some fixtures; focus shapes, for example, can produce

nice “focus pull” effects on fixtures which have DMX focusing, but will

do nothing on fixtures which don’t have focusing.

When you use a shape with more than one fixture, you can choose to

either apply the shape identically to all the fixtures, or offset them so

that the shape runs along the fixtures creating “wave” or “ballyhoo”

type effects. This is called the spread of the shape.

5.1.1 Selecting a shape

Selecting a shape is very similar to

selecting a value from a palette. When

you choose a shape, it will be applied

to all selected fixtures.

1> Select the fixtures the shape is to

be applied to.

2> Press G [Shape Generator].

3> Press A [Playback a shape].

4> Press one of the A-E softkeys to

apply a shape to the fixtures (or

the F and G softkeys go up and

down the list). The screen

describes the shape for each

button.

• Most shapes are based on the

current settings of the fixture, so

a circle would move around the

current pan-tilt position of the fixture.

• If the shape description says “Even” or “Parallel”, this describes

the Spread of the shape. You can always change this later.
